Fantasy Football: A New Hope

Footballs back!! And other than another excuse to drink, cookout, swear, and block off huge amounts of time on Sunday’s, Monday’s, Thursday’s (and eventually Saturday’s), there is one thing I look forward to most: Fantasy Football!!

That’s right friends. For those who play…you already know ;) But for those who do not, it’s actually pretty fun!! And in an attempt to get more people in on the fun (and thus build $$$ from ad revenues), the NFL is now REQUIRING, as of this season, fantasy stats to be displayed at all stadiums in real-time. awesome.

And what is my team name this year, you ask? I’ve gone with “The Show” after a dismal performance last year as “Team Badass.” How embarrassing #blush!

However…I’ve decided this year to take it one. step. further.

I’ve decided to create a new genre of games AND sports…to bridge the gap between jocks and nerds. I’ts final fantasy meets fantasy football!!! I call it “Final Fantasy Football: Touchdown of Time!” I’ve already drafted Sephiroth and Cloud with the Pittsburgh D and Lance Moore in the slot…gonna fucking wreck. I mean seriously, with Cloud’s Buster sword carving up the secondary while Moore dances his way across the field I can’t lose!

Plus with this stupid kickoff rule causing a cascade of touch-backs, and Sephiroth taking snaps, “The Show” is going to march down the field with ease every time. I just need to make sure Sephy and Cloud get along and don’t play “my swords sharper than yours is” on the field. That’s a twenty-yard penalty.
